Chen Xuan joined the crowd in looking toward the middle-aged foreigner. This man was presumably the host of today’s auction.
"The first auction is divided into six major venues, located on floors 31 through 36 of this cruise ship," the host continued. "We are currently on the 36th floor. Bidding will take place simultaneously across all venues, with open bidding. All the display cases you see here contain items up for auction. You may begin!"
For many of the wealthy guests present, this was their first time encountering such a novel way to conduct an auction. The host had not provided a clear explanation, leaving them unsure of how to proceed. However, it didn't take long for some to catch on. Each display case was equipped with an electronic terminal. One simply had to enter their name and bid; if no one entered a higher amount within the day, the antique would be theirs. Naturally, those who entered nonsensical, astronomical figures only to result in a failed transaction would face severe penalties.
